Christmas

Santa came… (did you know he likes Dr. Pepper???)

 

Still a little sleepy but looking pleased.

 

Boston, has figured out that Christmas is pretty sweet.

 

Stephen is a Christmas morning pro and is looking mighty pleased with his Nerf dart gun.

 

Mini boxes of sugar cereal are one of Santa’s favorite Christmas morning treats to leave in the stockings.

 

Later at Grandma Quist’s house Stephen opened one of his favorite gifts – a nutcracker.  The crumbles you see in front are the (already shelled) peanuts that nutcracker mashed up.  Pretty powerful right??  For some reason Stephen loves nutcrackers and every time we saw one in the store this year (and last year) he wanted to play with them so clever Grandma Quist gave him one of his very own!

My two adorable boys ready for bed after a long, fabulous day.  They are sporting the new Toy Story PJs they received from Grandma Smith.  Doesn’t Boston look ridiculously cute in those “man” pajamas?

 

We are so blessed to live near both of our parents.  Our boys get a very close relationship with both of their Grandparents.  This also means that the boys are beyond spoiled on Christmas!  We had a blast with our own little Christmas celebration at home and then bouncing around between Grandparents’ houses the rest of the day.  We even managed to squeeze in a much needed afternoon nap.  Christmas day was truly a jewel!  We love all of our wonderful family and had so much fun celebrating with you!
